Methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase contributes to allergic airway disease

RATIONALE Environmental exposures strongly influence the development and progression of asthma. We have previously demonstrated that mice exposed to a diet enriched with methyl donors during vulnerable periods of fetal development can enhance the heritable risk of allergic airway disease through epigenetic changes. There is conflicting evidence on the role of folate (one of the primary methyl d...

Review Article Methylene Tetrahydrofolate Reductase Gene and Coronary Artery Disease

Hyperhomocysteinemia has been identified as a risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD).1-9 In a nested case control study in Norway on 21,826 subjects in general population, hyperhomocysteinemia was clearly identified as an independent risk factor for CAD with no threshold level.9 Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a key enzyme in the methylation of homocysteine and its role in...

Retinal vein occlusion, homocysteine, and methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase genotype.

PURPOSE The aim of this case-control study was to investigate the relationship between homocysteine (tHcy), 5,10 methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T genotype, folate and vitamin B12 status, and retinal vein occlusion (RVO). METHODS Subjects with RVO (n = 106) were recruited from outpatient and inpatient sources. Controls (n = 98) were selected to achieve a similar age and sex d...

[Mutations in the methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase gene and Down syndrome].

Down syndrome (DS) is a complex genetic and metabolic disorder attributed to the presence of three copies of chromosome 21. The extra chromosome derives from the mother in 93% of cases and is due to abnormal chromosome segregation during meiosis (nondisjunction). Except for advanced age at conception, maternal risk factors for meiotic nondisjunction are not well established. A recent preliminar...

Prevalence of methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase polymorphism in South Indian population

Prevalence of methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene mutations in South Indian population was investigated from a total of 608 samples, 420 adults and 188 newborns. Detection of mutation was carried out focussing on the two most common mutations of the MTHFR gene (C677T and A1298C) using PCRbased RFLP method. T-allele frequency was almost similar between the newborns and adults (0.09...
